Crops in the South.

Our exchanges from different sections of the South bring us the most cheering accounts as to the prospects of the approaching harvest.

The Raleigh Standard has the following from a correspondent:

Cabarrus has responded nobly to the patriotic appeals of Gov. Vance and President Davis for provisions for our gallant solders.--A large amount of corn and bacon has recently been shipped from this place, and they are still coming in. Our wheat crop is very promising indeed. We are planting no cotton. I fear, however, if more men are taken from the county, it will be difficult, if not impossible, to gather our crops.

A Rome (Ga.) paper says:

‘ The wheat crop in this section is exceedingly fine, and is as promising as one could wish. Not a single stalk of it is as yet affected by the rust. The oat crop looks finely. The stand of corn is good, and a large area of ground is planted with it.

’ A letter from Clinton, Greene county, Ala., says:‘"We have the finest wheat crop ever known in this county."’

The prospect for a heavy crop of fruit, rye, and wheat in Northeast Georgia was never so promising, and the most extensive crops of corn and potatoes are planted.
